This afternoon, for the first time, viewers can now play and enjoy several fun Harry Potter mini-games by visiting
our "Games" page, which can be reached by clicking the link to the page, located at the top-left corner of the blog's main page.

At this time, only three games are avalable: "Mad-Eye Moddy's magic eye challange,"
"Harry Potter's staircase escape," and the "LEGO Harry Potter game.

Additional games are scheduled to premire on the games page in the near future.

Thanks to kidsworld.com, http://www.kidsworld.com/, we have a new offical video of the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter video game,
in stores June 30th.

The video is avalable for viewing at the bottom of our main page.

As mentioned in previous posts, the game will be avalable in two different versions at its release. Buyers have a choice of getting the basic version of the game, or an Collector's edition, avalable only for the Nintendo Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360
versions of the game.

Episode 5 part 1 of "Focus on Autism"
has now been posted on our site. As some of our viewers may know, the show is produced by clients amd staff from the
Focus Alternative Learning Center in Canton, CT.

The first four videos are now on our site, each episode split into three ten minute parts.

Part one of Episode 5 has just now been posted.
parts 2 & 3 should be on our site tomorrow
afternoon.

Thanks to the producers of LEGO Harry Potter, a new screenshot,
one of the Nintendo DS version of the game, is now online.

It is currently unclear what "year(s)" in the game these photos are taken from. The only confirmed peice of information about the photos
is that these shots are from the Nintendo DS version of the game,
and does not represent the game graphics displayed in the
Nintendo Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC adaptions of the game.

The game is, as far as anyone knows, still slated for its June 30th release.

Also, it is speculated that, since the producers of the game have
released a trailer for each "year" in the game, there still should be
one more game trailer on the way, focusing on the fourth and final
playable year in the game.

Warner Bros has as of now refused to comment on when they plan to premire the fourth and final teaser trailer for the game.

It has been confirmed by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) that the upcoming
LEGO Harry Potter video game will recieve a 10 and up rating for the Nintendo DS and PSP
versions of the game, rated so for sequences of animated blood, crude humor, and
mild cartoon violence.Here is what the ESRB had to say concerning this: Rating summary:This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of a Lego-version of
Harry Potter as he learns magic spells and defeats enemy creatures at the Hogwarts magic school.
Players use a wand to fire fantastical blasts at enemy monsters, spiders, snakes, etc. Characters sometimes cry out in pain and often break apart into smaller Lego pieces when defeated. In one cutscene, a character's body explodes, and the central character cradles the head piece; another cutscene depicts a dragon impaled through the mouth by a sword. During a potion-mixing mini-game, players can use "salamander blood" or smashed worms as ingredients; pixilated blood appears in both sequences. In one sequence, brown Lego droppings fall out of a creature's posterior; a character scoops up the droppings with a shovel and makes a comical "Pee-ewhh" gesture.

However, the PC, Wii, PS3 and XBOX 360 versions are rated E10+ for only cartoon violence
and crude humor, but does not appearantly contain the animated blood depicted in the PSP
and Nintendo DS versions.

In a recent interview with MTV.com, Tom Felton, who Harry Potter fans would know for his role as Draco Malfoy in the HP film, said when asked about where the final two-part film will be split: "There was (parts) one and two. There had to be a middle point. But they've said throughout production that it could change."

When asked how he felt about filming the already scheduleded epilog, depicting the main characters and him seventeen years down the road, he stated: "For nearly two months, we've all been doing tests and all sorts of preparation for the epilogue. I've been having some aging training. You've got to walk differently. There's a bit of a slump in your walk. It's bizarre".

The final two films will premire November 2010 and July 2011.
